Reentry Resource Guides

Included in every First Aid Reentry Kit is a Reentry Resource Guide (RRG) full of information for agencies, organizations, ministries and businesses that provide assistance in the home county of the returning citizen. OurJourney has developed Reentry Resource Guides for all 100 counties in North Carolina.

We are also committed to making all of our RRGs available free of charge to anyone who may need one, whether that is a returning citizen, a probation officer, a peer support specialist or any other member of the community. Click on the image or link below for the RRG you need. All we ask is that when you share one of our RRGs, please share it in its entirety. 

Also, while we strive to keep our RRGs current and accurate, we ask that you let us know if you find anything that isn't correct. You may reach out to us at contact@ourjourney2gether.com.

MyJourney Reentry App, the newest reentry tool from OurJourney, will allow returning citizens, family members and people from the community to search for, and connect with, reentry support in all 100 NC counties right on their smartphones. Users can also watch inspirational and educational videos about reentry and use the app to connect directly with OurJourney. Available now for free download from Apple App Store and Google Play. Click here for more information or to download to your phone.
